Become a Mandarin Linguist for MI5 and MI6 and play a vital role in safeguarding the UK's people, interests, and businesses from various threats at home, overseas, and online. This exciting opportunity requires a passion for languages, knowledge of Mandarin language and culture, and the ability to effectively use language skills for social, academic, or professional situations.
About Us
MI5, MI6, and GCHQ are the UK's Intelligence Services. Our diverse teams work together to protect Britain's people, interests, and businesses from cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism, and organised crime. As a Mandarin Linguist, you'll contribute to this mission by applying your linguistic and cultural expertise.
About The Role
We're seeking Mandarin linguists who can identify nuances, seek out key information from spoken and written materials, contextualise, and make the information accessible and understandable to others. Your in-depth understanding of Chinese culture, ideology, and politics will be a significant asset in helping to safeguard the UK.
As a Mandarin Linguist at MI5 and MI6, you'll be part of a multi-disciplinary team and play an active role in directing projects and driving forward investigations. This rewarding work will draw on your judgement, people skills, as well as linguistic and cultural expertise. Confident reading, writing, speaking, and listening to Mandarin, you'll do everything from translation and interpretation to operational work that includes planning, casework, and training.
About You
To be successful as a Mandarin Linguist with us, you'll need active and passive language skills, excellent written English, and a good knowledge of Chinese culture, history, religion, and politics. Proficiency in Mandarin language (at C1 level) is essential, which can come from growing up in a multi-lingual family, undergoing language training in the military, or studying Mandarin to a high level academically.
During the interview process, you'll need to pass a language proficiency test by reading and translating newspaper articles and broadcasts. If you can understand most of what's said in a Mandarin audio clip, we strongly encourage you to apply.
Training and Development
We offer a comprehensive training program that includes language events and workshops, professional qualifications, and applied skills training such as interpretation. Our goal is to ensure you have the necessary skills and knowledge to excel as a Mandarin Linguist at the heart of national security.
As part of the selection process, we'll identify specific areas for development and tailor a training plan to meet your needs. When you join, you'll have an induction and be assigned a buddy from the same language area to help you settle in. You'll also gain access to a range of language and non-language training opportunities.
Rewards and Benefits
You'll receive a competitive starting salary of £37,281 - £43,490 (plus the possibility to qualify for additional language allowances once in role). Additional benefits include:
- 25 days' annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days' public and privilege holidays.
- Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme.
- Interest-free season ticket loan (travel and parking GCHQ only).
- Excellent pension scheme.
- Cycle to work scheme.
- Facilities such as a gym and restaurant, and on-site coffee bars.
